Freeloader
is a young rock band from the Florida panhandle whose twin-guitar attack is
reminiscent of some of the finest hard-rock bands of the 70s. Their relentless
touring schedule has made them intimately familiar with the roadhouses, truck
stops and Waffle Houses of the South. They are scraggly van-sleepers who rarely
do their laundry, but who nevertheless pride themselves on their irresistible attraction,
and can't pass a woman sitting alone at the bar without trying their luck Sadly, all bullshit. Freeloader is four
old-timers from the Boston music scene who have recombined in endless band
permutations. Nat Freedberg is the singer, songwriter and guitarist. Jim Janota
is the drummer (Nat and Jim played together in the Upper Crust), Charles Hansen
is the lead guitar player, and Jim Haggerty plays bass. There are two covers on
the record, "Rag Doll," which was originally done by the Four Seasons,
and which in Freeloader's hands sounds like it might have been the B-side to
"Cherry Bomb" by the Runaways; and Billy Preston's funk classic
"Will It Go Round In Circles," which the band duly reduces to a blunt
guitar-rock cudgel. That leaves eight originals... but Nat only had seven. So
he quickly penned the garage-rock anthem "Ten Songs Make an Album,"
the day before it was due to be recorded. Ten songs it is - ten of the finest slices of
hot rock and roll to be served up in a couple of decades. Crank it up on the
car stereo and blow past a speed trap. The management is not responsible for
songs left unattended in your brain after listening. GREAT!!
